Part 8: Transcript of Tom Beal's In Search Of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski

RALPH ZURANSKI: Do you have the courage to pursue new ideas?

TOM BEAL: It’s like a muscle; the more you work it out the more easily it will come to you. In the beginning as in anything when we had to learn how to peddle a bike it was a very difficult task. When we learned how to walk it was a very difficult task but the more you do it the more you get used to it.

You need to exercise that muscle. First you need to exercise your power of choice and your power of decision. Then once you get that muscle worked up then you can choose quickly and correctly.

You can decide on good manners fast. Then you’ll also be able to take action upon your ideas. Everybody has good ideas. People listening to this have probably had many $1,000,000 or plus ideas.

But the fact of the matter is not many of them have taken action upon it. So it’s a matter of choosing. It’s a matter of narrowing it down.

You talked about focus. Take all your ideas and see what’s the most fulfilling and satisfying one that you could choose to become real. Act as if it’s real all ready then take steps to make it and implement it.

RALPH ZURANSKI: Were you willing to experience discomfort in the pursuit of your dream?

TOM BEAL: Discomfort? I put my self in discomfort because the more you become comfortable I feel the less you are moving forward. If you are not uncomfortable many times a week your life is too complacent and you’re not going to reach great things. I deal with top people.

I deal with Hall of Fame quarterbacks, movie stars, singers, and top marketers. Not everything works for all these people. They make mistakes. They have things that fail. But they don’t quit, they just keep going.

Ok that one didn’t work out, how can I learn from it, how can I get better results? You’ve heard about all my accomplishments but we don’t have time to hear about all my failures. That would take 3 or 4 days if not 3 or 4 weeks.

I’m just too darn stubborn to quit. So put yourself out there. The more uncomfortable position you can put yourself in, obviously ethically and honest and following those proper guidelines, you’ll get used to it and work your muscles up. Then you’ll be able to choose more wisely on projects where a couple of years ago you may have turned that project down.

RALPH ZURANSKI: Is it beneficial to make decisions quickly?

TOM BEAL: Oh, 100%! Napoleon Hill had an egg timer to answer the question whether he was willing to pursue the study of success not compensated by the richest man in the world. That doesn’t sound like a pretty logical choice to make but he took it on.

But he had an egg timer and little did he know that Andrew Carnegie, he found out later, as soon as he posed the question to him & after a couple of days of downloading what this would require & how Andrew was going to make the correct contacts, he had an egg timer.

The ones that said “Let me check with my wife, let met me do this.” they didn’t make the cut. You have to be decisive based upon full information. Once you have full information then make up your mind, yes or no. The more you can flex that muscle of decision making the more quickly you can rise to the top.

RALPH ZURANSKI: Are you slow to revise or reverse an important decision?

TOM BEAL: It changes with information. For instance I can make a decision right now based on the information I have and believe it whole heartedly and would die for that decision but then new information may come up. If new information comes up that turns the table on it then you can decide again or choose differently.

But obviously for ethics, beliefs and honestly you have to have a foundation on those. Otherwise if new information arises I’m open to hear. If I’m walking this way and somebody says I can walk this way and get different results I’m willing to hear them. But based upon that I can continue to walk in the direction I’m in or choose to go off a little bit.

RALPH ZURANSKI: How were you able to overcome your doubts and fears?

TOM BEAL: How do I overcome fear? I go back to the statement of two things to worry about, things I can control and things I can’t control. If I am doubtful or fearful over something, what information is making that doubt or fear? Is it something I can control? Or something I can’t control?

Also what can I do to overcome it? The best way I overcome it is through prayer and through knowing that I’m making quick decisions based upon the information I have. I’m confident I’m going to walk boldly one step at a time.

Just like at night when we’re driving with the headlights you can’t see all the way to California but you can see a couple of car lengths ahead. All you need to do is just focus on those couple of car lengths ahead and you’ll make to wherever you are going eventually. All we can do is focus on that little bit.

I’d probably scared to death if I could see a couple of years ahead because I’m not at that level where I could understand the decisions I’d be making 2 years from now. I can only do the best I know right now.

So doubt and fear you have to work those muscles to be able to overcome those. If you’re not putting yourself in some fearful or uncomfortable situations you’re probably not pushing you’re full potential.
